Chapter 77: Chicken mushroom oil, the tempting aroma that fills the courtyard
What Jiang Ning was going to cook next was still not a big dish.
It's just the sauce you dip dumplings in.
However.
This dipping sauce is the most important thing she cooked today.
Jiang Ning even started preparing the ingredients yesterday, which took him two or three hours in total.
She tied an apron on, rolled up her sleeves, and her pretty face showed anticipation for a great job.
Clean the iron pan and heat it over high heat.
The water vapor remaining on the iron pot evaporated into steam with a sizzling sound.
When there is no water stain at all.
Jiang Ning picked up the rapeseed oil beside him and poured it all down in one breath.
That’s a full two kilograms of rapeseed oil.
It’s enough for a family to eat for one or two months.
Nowadays, it is still an era of material scarcity, and most people would not be willing to use oil like this.
But this dish requires plenty of oil to make it fragrant and delicious.
After a while.
The rapeseed oil is burned to 70% hot.
Jiang Ning picked up a large bowl of fresh red pepper slices that had been prepared on the side, and put them all into the frying pan.
The bright red pepper segments float on the rapeseed oil at first.
As the oil temperature rises, the bright red chili segments spread out from the middle to both sides like blooming fireworks.
This scene is so beautiful.
At the same time, a strong smell of chili also emanated.
Jiang Ning picked up the spatula at this time and gently turned the pepper segments, as if he was stir-frying them, so that the pepper segments could be heated more evenly.
This way it won’t get burnt or become black.
When the chili segments are dry-fried and crispy.
Jiang Ning picked up the chicken mushrooms that had been prepared long ago - they were all petals and strands of mycelium.
Three big basins.
Pour all into the iron pot.
Sizzle…sizzle…sizzle…
The rapeseed oil immediately made a sizzling sound.
The mycelium of the chicken mushroom completely covered the surface of the chili oil in an instant.
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry. He took a shovel in his hand and started turning the soil.
Bright red peppers and yellow rapeseed oil are evenly wrapped on the mycelium of the chicken mushroom, and the aromas of the three are perfectly blended in it.
At this time, the fragrance is already very strong.
But the progress bar is only one third full.
Next, it needs to be fried for a longer time.
During this period, Jiang Ning changed the high heat to medium heat and only needed to keep the oil pan at a certain temperature.
At the beginning, there was undried moisture in the mycelium of the chicken mushroom, and it looked like a full pile.
However, with long-term frying in wide oil, the moisture inside is gradually evaporated.
The volume of the mycelium of the chicken mushroom began to shrink continuously and gradually turned into thin strips.
Even the color began to change.
At first it was slightly grayish brown, which is the normal color of mushrooms, and slowly it turned into an attractive dark brown.
During this period.
Jiang Ning stood in front of the stove without moving, stirring the oil pan with a spatula from time to time to keep the temperature of the oil layer even.
Gradually...
The last bit of moisture in the mycelium of the chicken mushroom was completely evaporated.
The scene of strands of mycelium soaked in red chili oil is so tempting.
And the taste of the mushroom itself is a bit like meat.
Plus the cooking method of frying.
The strands of hyphae look like torn pieces of meat.
It’s delicious and has good color, aroma and taste.
This dish is the authentic chicken mushroom oil.
Whether it is used to mix rice, make seasoning, or dipping sauce, it is very delicious.
It was the first time for Jiang Ning to make such a big pot of chicken mushroom oil.
So I was extremely careful and focused throughout the whole process.
She didn't even notice that Qin Jiulie and Gao Fang, who were right beside her, had already stopped making dumplings.
Because - they were all captivated by this extraordinary fragrance!
The last time when frying lard, Qin Jiulie had already smelled the appetite-stimulating aroma.
But today's scent...
More fragrant, richer and more tempting!
Even though I haven't tasted it yet, I can't help swallowing my saliva, and I wish I could swallow my tongue too.
Gao Fang asked excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, why is this chili oil so fragrant! It's too fragrant! My tongue is about to fall off from the fragrance!"
Jiang Ning then turned around after hearing the voice.
Then all of a sudden, he was faced with two greedy faces.
Even the reserved and calm Qin Jiulie gave up controlling his facial expression at this moment.
That pair of eyes was staring straight at the fragrant chicken mushroom oil sizzling in the iron pot.
Jiang Ning explained.
"This is not ordinary chili oil, it's chicken mushroom oil with added mycelium. The most common mushroom on the surrounding mountains is chicken mushroom. I put a lot of chicken mushroom mycelium, so it's called chicken mushroom oil."
After listening to this, Qin Jiulie nodded vaguely.
That slight movement was not as obvious as the movement of his Adam's apple.
Jiang Ning was amused by his infatuated look.
But I can only say it euphemistically.
"The chicken mushroom oil tastes best when it's cooled down. It's still too hot now, and eating hot food is bad for your health. You guys wait a little longer, and you'll be able to taste it in the evening."
"Okay. Listen to my wife."
Qin Jiulie swallowed hard and continued his actions.
Turn appetite into motivation and don’t stop rolling the dumpling skins.
Gao Fang immediately followed suit. #
Jiang Ning looked at the dumplings they had made, there were already several hundred of them.
But Qin Jiulie said that there were more than ten or twenty guests coming in the evening.
They are all men with big appetites, so these dumplings are definitely not enough. They also need to prepare steamed buns, flower rolls, and rice.
These things are not difficult, Jiang Ning entrusted them to Qin Jiulie and Gao Fang.
She then had to busy herself with other things.
There are two stoves in the house, one for steaming buns and the other for steaming dumplings, leaving no space for cooking.
Jiang Ning wanted to go to Wang Chunxia's house and use the kitchen.
By the way, we can also ask Wang Chunxia to help kill a chicken.
She walked out while planning.
As soon as she walked out the door, she saw a group of sisters-in-law gathered at the gate of her yard.
A group of people were chattering non-stop.
Jiang Ning asked curiously, "Sisters-in-law, why are you all at my door? Dinner time is in the evening, and the food is not ready yet."
The sisters-in-law waved their hands hurriedly.
"Sister Ning, this is not about eating. When you have a meal together, only men can sit at the table. There is no place for us women."
"That's right. Sister Ning... we can't stand the fragrance! What are you burning? Why does it smell so good?"
"My house is in the farthest corner of the compound, and I can smell the fragrance coming from your house!"
"Not only that! Now the whole compound is filled with the fragrance coming from your house! It's so fragrant that my nose is about to fall off! What good stuff is this?"
